Scott Watermasysk (and Dave Wanta ) point out a tool that should be in everyone's party chest -- Fiddler . While at first glance it looks similar to Simon Fell 's most excellent TCPTrace utility, it seems to add even more every time I click on something...

ASP.NET Webcast tomorrow (the 23rd) from 1:00PM to 2:30PM (Pacific time -8:00GMT). Join Russ Nemhauser on a discussion of building ASP.NET server controls:
Creating truly reusable Server Controls can be a daunting task. Attend this webcast and learn...

They also serve up hot steamy breakfast. Here we see Scott Guthrie, Product Unit Manager, Shanku Niyogi, Group Program Manager, B. Ashok, Development Manager, and Dmitry Robsman, Development Manager at a recent event where they served breakfast to the...

Yes, I should have pointed this out a while back -- my excuse was I was on vacation when it actually launched. I suppose I should have pointed this out as well, but I was waiting until it ended up on the front page of the new VS2005 Dev Center. Fooey...

It's Saturday night -- what do losers like Kent do? Poke around, trying to learn PHP. I just came across something that is probably old news -- PEAR (the PHP Extension and Application Repository). It's an application, a database, and more. 5 minutes after...

Brian will probably skewer me for this, but if you're developing in Delphi, here is a nice series of guides to developing ASP.NET apps with Delphi.

Someone pointed out the Events and Errors Message Center on TechNet. You can type in the value of the error message (either Source or ID#) and get a page describing it in more detail (for example, my error 1096 , no doubt caused by my latest experiment...

For those that can think back a month or so, you may have recalled that I used the title, “ The Return of the King, baby! ” to describe Rob Howard returning to writing his column on MSDN. Well, that tumultuous event has a echo. Part 2 of Rob...

Obviously, we're not keeping Scott busy enough writing for MSDN (or I'm not processing his articles fast enough). Or perhaps he just wanted to post something on his own site . Either way, Scott has a great article on creating a Content Rating system similar...

I know most people here don't care about the performance of their .NET apps, ( OK, that's a lame joke! Really -- *everyone* should care about the perf of their app ) but *if* you did, you'll want to take a look at the latest information from the PAG ...

JimGries delights with “ Idiot's Guide to Creating and Using VS Macros ” and “ Breakpoint Groups “, two great articles on working with VS (including a little summtin' summtin' for us CLI folk)

While it's not UT2004 , this game does have one advantage -- it's 96KB. When was the last time you could say that? They even had to lower the resolution of the screenshots of it on the home page, as they were actually larger than the game. Now you can...

OK, Andrew has shamed me . I am one of the many that run as Admin. I will try, but I suspect it may be a short trial. If only Windows did installs etc. the way it's done on the Mac. There, you are presented with a 'Manager override' dialog, letting you...

According to my great grandmanager, Sara :
Incidently, MSDN is looking for a dev manager. We haven't posted a job description yet, but if you are interested and qualified , send me email (NOT a comment), and perhaps you'll be able to drop in yourself...

OK, I know it was an April Fool's joke, but I think I could really use one of these.

And with a newer Pentium 4, or AMD Althlon, you probably wouldn't even need any additional power -- just cook...

Those who know me know that my brain is written in QuickBasic (possibly QBasic), so I definitely have some affinity for Visual Basic (despite what some people have felt lately). So, I'd definitely be interested in the Visual Basic World Tour -- especially...
